Cleaning the Sen-serter
This procedure shows you how to clean your Sen-serter.
1 Wash your hands thoroughly.
2 Dampen a clean cloth with mild liquid soap and warm water, and wipe the Sen-serter.
3 Rinse with warm tap water.
4 Using an antibacterial hand sanitizer (available at a local drugstore), wipe down the Sen-serter.
5 Place the Sen-serter on a clean dry cloth and allow to air dry for two to three minutes.
6 Store the Sen-serter in the released position to make sure that it lasts as long as possible and works
properly.
Watertight tester
The tester is used to test the transmitter to make sure it is working. It is also used as a required
component for cleaning and disinfecting the transmitter. Properly connecting the tester to the transmitter
will ensure that fluids do not come in contact with the transmitter’s connector pins. Fluids can cause
connector pins to corrode and affect the transmitter’s performance.
Each tester can be used a total of 30 times. Open and use one tester at a time. Keep track of the tester
uses on the supplied log sheet and discard the tester after 30 uses in a bio-waste container. If you
continue to use the tester beyond 30 times, the transmitter's connector pins could be damaged, because
the tester cannot continue to provide a waterproof seal. For instructions on how to check the connector
pins, see Inspecting the transmitter connector pins, on page 102.
Caution: Only use the watertight tester with the transmitter. Do not use any other test plug.
